Join the Space Traders closed beta

The first wave flies October 1, and seats open in small waves after that. Sign up with Google and we'll email you when yours is ready.

100% free to play. The only paid upgrades are optional aesthetics — nothing you can buy affects advancement or playability.

Reserve your seat

One tap — we only receive the email address and name on your Google account, so beta invites reach a verified inbox.

You'll need an Android phone to fly the beta. Invites and build announcements come from play@pacificislandventures.com — add it to your contacts so your seat doesn't land in spam. We use your email for nothing else, never share it, and you can ask off the list any time at that same address.
